Behavior Modification for Taylor--Any Suggestions?

Mar 24, 2003 06:57

( Taylor's latest fear is the vacuum. I don't know what started, since that was the only way to calm her when she was colicky but she is petrified of it now. When I say petrified, I am not talking about a little show of anxiety and a leery look in her eyes. I am talking full-blown, paranoid hysteria. )

The things you tried would all be my suggestions, I have used those same techniques to get my daughter 'used' to something scary. I don't know if yours would respond to this, but sometimes, making the whole thing silly (example: turning it on for 2 seconds, then turning it off like it surprised you and gasping like it's silly and fun, and running away happily...) works for mine. they're all so different, it's hard to find 'one technique'.
